Sod Walls.

There is no other material that the
prairie settler can obtain so easily, and at
so little cost, which will serve to give as
much warmth and comfort to man and
beast through long, cold winter, as
sods A thick, well-laid sod wall, will
make far more comfortable building
for stock-warmer in winter and cool
Ell in summer-than any other material
easily accessible.
If barn built of lumber be covered
with heavy tar-felt, well battened, then
sodded up on the outside, the time
and labor required in its construction
will be repaid many times in the
amount of fodder saved in keeping the
stock through winter. A sod wall on
the north and west sides of the dwell
ing house adds greatly to the comfort
of its inmates. If bed of mellow
soil is made at the foot of the wall in
which some climbing flowers or some
roots of the Virginia Creeper and
Bittersweet are planted, and the vines
trained to cover the wall, it will not be
an eye-sore by any means through the
summer, and the additional comfort it
will give through the winter, will
atone for any unsightliness.
A sod wall should not be built close
against a building, but space of
about four inches left between the wall
and the siding; an occasional sod pro-
jecting against the building will serve
to steady the wall. If well-laid and
pounded down, the sides or ends where
the sods join each other cut smooth
and true to make close joint, the out
side pared down evenly with an axe or
hatchet, and covered over the top so
rs to shed rain, such wall will last
number of years. American AgricuI-

Feeding Bees in May.

Large quantities of brood are reared
in this month, and after the red buds
of the soft maple have put forth their
heads there will be plenty Of natural
pollen for the bees to gather. IL there
are no naples in your immediate vicin-
ity, take some unbolted rye-oflur, mix
1t with saw-dust or cut straw and set
in sunny corner, sheltered from the
wind, when, IL the bees require il, they
will carry it freely. In localities where
there is honey in the blossoms at this
season. the bees will gather it very
rapidly, and the more honey they get
the faster the stock increases. Where
there are not enough honey-producing
flowers. by al. means feed, at the en-
trance, say about a gill Of hot feed
every night. BY feeding thus, youI
stocks will increase very rapidly, and
when the honey commences 10 flow,
you will have strong stocks to gather it.
Again, should there be honey in the
blossoms, and cold and wintry weather
set in, feed as above, for should tn,
weather continue cold, the bees would
naturally commence to destroy the
work already accomplished. BY

Some Advice to Wives.

Remember that you are married to
man and not TO god be prepared fol
imperfections.
Anticipate the discovery by you
husband that you are "only woman"
il you were not he would not care about
you.
Once in a while let your husband
have the last word; it will crafty hin
and be no particular loss to you.
Be reasonable; it is great deal &c
ask under some circumstances, but dc
try; reasonable women are rare-be
rare.
Remember that servants are made Of
the same material as YOU are; little
coarser grained. perhaps, but the same
in essentials.
Try and forget yourself; as to your
husband, forget that you married him,
and remember that he married you;
he will then probably do the reverse.
Let him read the newspaper at the
breakfast-table; 1t is unsoclable. bui
then, it is only a trihe, after all, and
he likes it.
Let him know more than you dc
once in a while; it keeps up his self
respect, and you are none the worse
for admitting that you are not actually
infallible.
Read something in the papers beside
fashion notes and society columns; have
some knowledge of what is going on
in foreign countries.
BE a companion to your husband II
he is a wise man; and II he is not, try
to make him become your companion.
Raise his standard. do not let him low

Respect your husbands relations.

bringing Of complaints by the chief of the

defence on the part of corporations on the
